THE  HOIST 

THE  G  &  G  HOIST  is  sturdy  and  dependable.  It  is  designed 
for  economical  and  efficient  raising  and  lowering  of  light  loads 
(approximately  500  lbs.)  at  industrial  plants  and  for  the  removal 
of  ashes  and  rubbish  from  all  types  of  buildings. 

The  illustration  shows  our  Model  E,  elec¬ 
trically  operated,  telescopic  Hoist  spec¬ 
ially  adapted  for  use  in  industrial  plants. 
This  Hoist  raises  loads  of  500  lbs  to  grade 
level  at  a  speed  of  60  feet  per  minute. 
That  part  of  Hoist  shown  telescopes  be¬ 
low  grade  level. 

Model  E  Hoist  is  equipped  with  a  1  Yl  h.p. 
motor,  totally  enclosed  (series  wound  for 
direct  current;  squirrel  cage  for  alternat¬ 
ing  current),  and  has  graphite-filled  oil¬ 
less  bronze  bearings. 

The  Hoist  is  also  equipped  with  an  auto¬ 
matic  upper  limit  and  lowers  by  gravity  — 
thus  consuming  only  half  the  usual  amount 
of  current  and  permitting  a  very  rapid 
lowering  speed. 

A  single  handle  controls  lowering  and 
raising  operations  and  should  the  oper¬ 
ator’s  hand  be  removed  from  the  lever, 
the  brake  is  automatically  applied  and 
the  load  comes  to  an  instant  stop. 

Steel  cable  used  is  “  non  -  rotating  ”  which 
eliminates  the  twisting  and  additional 
stress  common  to  the  ordinary  type  of 
cable.  Cable  drum  is  grooved  and  gears 
are  machine  cut  throughout. 

No  part  of  Hoist  has  a  factor  of  safety 
less  than  8,  based  on  the  ultimate  strength 
of  the  material  when  a  load  o  f  500  lbs. 
is  raised.

and  lowers  by  gravity.  If  operator’s 
hand  is  removed  from  the  lever, 
load  will  come  to  instant  stop. 


Why  It  Saves  Labor 


Showing  how  ONE  MAN,  unaided, 
can  “hook"  and  raise  filled  G  &  G 
Swing  Bail  Cans  without  leaving  grade. 


THE  G  &  G  MODEL  E  HOIST  not 

only  provides  a  safe  and  dependable 
method  of  raising  and  lowering  lighter 
loads  at  industrial  plants  but  it  is  also 
a  great  saver  of  labor.  A  G  &  G  Hoist 
will  pay  for  itself — in  a  comparatively 
short  time — in  the  money  saved  through 
its  use. 

The  Model  E  Hoist  is  so  simple  in  con¬ 
struction  and  operation  that  the  average 
laborer  can  readily  understand  and  op¬ 
erate  it.  It  is  practically  “fool-proof.” 
Its  automatic  upper  limit  feature  guards 
against  raising  the  load  too  high.  Should 
the  operator’s  attention  be  distracted  and 
his  hand  removed  from  lever,  brake  is 
automatically  applied  and  load  comes  to 
an  instant  stop. 


It  is  suggested  that  G  &  G  patent 
swing  bail  cans  be  used  as  contain¬ 
ers  wherever  possible.  They  are 
especially  constructed  for  heavy 
duty  and  the  operation  of  this 
model  is,  by  these  cans,  made  a 
one-man  job  (see  illustration 
above) . 

Owing  to  the  small  area  necessary 
for  the  hoistway  (preferably  4  ft. 
square,  though  this  may  be  re¬ 
duced  or  enlarged  to  meet  special 
conditions)  the  G  &  G  Hoist  can 
be  located  at  strategic  points  in 
an  industrial  plant  where  it  would 
be  impractical  or  impossible  to  in¬ 
stall  a  larger  lift  or  hoist.  The 
G  &  G  Hoist  thus  provides  a  most 
direct  connecting  link  between  de¬ 
partments — speeds  up  production 
and  saves  an  endless  amount  of  truck¬ 
ing  labor. 


Showing  operation  of  G  &  G  Door  Opening  and 
Closing  Device — in  this  case  adapted  to  a  Model 
A  Hoist  but  which  can  be  used  with  ALL 
MODELS  of  G  &  G  Hoists.  Device  operates 
automatically  when  Telescoping  Handle  is  re¬ 
volved.  Checkered  Steel  or  Vault  Light  Doors 
open  and  lock  and  close  and  lock  as  Hoisting 
Head  is  raised  or  lowered.  Spring  Guard  Gates 
—WHICH  SWING  OUTWARD  ONLY— auto¬ 
matically  close  up  opening  at  grade  level  be- 
tween  the  opened  doors.

Where  the  Need  Exists 


THERE  are  hundreds  of  situations  in 
industrial  circles  where  the  installation 
of  G  &  G  Hoists  will  reduce  the  number  of 
men  employed  in  raising  and  lowering  of 
loads — and  in  saving  days  of  labor  in  the 

aggregate - by  speeding  up  the  handling 

of  materials  by  direct  motion  transfer. 


The  range  of  usefulness  cf  a  G  &  G  Hoist  in 
industrial  plants  is  almost  unlimited.  There  is 
a  definite  need  for  a  G  &  G  Hoist  wherever 
quick,  safe,  dependable  and  economical  raising 
and  lowering  of  lighter  loads  is  necessary  or  de¬ 
sirable and,  therefore,  it  may  be  said  that  a 

G  &  Q  Hoist  is  needed  in  every)  modern  industrial 
plant. 


G  &  G  Hoists  can  be  easily  installed  in  old  or 
new  buildings  on  any  floor  or  in  boiler  room 
where  there  is  an  opening  preferably  4  ft. 
square. 


Complete  G  &  G  equipment  includes  G  &  G 
doors  (checked  steel  or  vault  light)  ;  G  &  G 
patent  spring  guard  gates;  automatic  door  open¬ 
ing  and  closing  device;  electric  warning  gong; 
operator’s  ladder;  G  &  G  patent  swing  bail  cans 
and  can  truck,  which  should  be  installed  as  a 
unit  for  efficient  operation.  Doors  open  and 
lock,  close  and  lock  automatically  by  operation 
of  telescoping  handle. 


The  G  &  G  Hoist  is  especially  valuable  in 
the  quick  and  economical  raising  and  low¬ 
ering  of  Ashes,  Bags,  Bales,  Barrels,  Bas¬ 
kets,  Boxes,  Cans,  Carboys,  Ice,  parts  of 
finished  and  unfinished  Machinery,  Rub¬ 
bish,  Tires,  Trays,  etc.,  and  other  loads 
within  its  scope.

And  Its  Performance  Record 

G&  G  HOISTS  are  saving  time 
and  money  in  many  types  of  in¬ 
dustrial  and  commercial  buildings — 
and  in  many  different  ways — every¬ 
where. 

The  Packard  Motor  Car  plant  in¬ 
stalled  two  G  &  G  Hoists  the  latter 
part  of  1918  for  use  in  connection 
with  their  core  ovens.  Since  that 
time  two  additional  hoists  have  been 
ordered —  without  solicitation. 

The  Kelly-Springfield  Tire  Co.  uses 
a  G  &  G  Hoist  for  the  direct  transfer 
of  tires  to  and  from  their  New  York 
City  storage.  The  Norwalk  Tire  & 
Rubber  Co.  uses  a  G  &  G  Hoist  for 
transferring  pans  of  rubber  between 
floors. 

C  &  G  Hoists  are  daily  proving  their  efficiency  at  manufacturing  plants 
and  service  stations  of  the  Willys-Overland  Co.;  Ford  Motor  Co.; 
Canton  Motor  Co.;  Lang  Motor  Truck 
Co.  and  other  automotive  companies. 

The  Riches-Piver  Co. - manufacturing  chem¬ 

ists — use  a  G  &  G  Hoist  at  their  Lyons  Farms, 

New  Jersey,  plant  for  raising  and  lowering 
barrels,  boxes,  carboys,  etc. 

S.  Kann’s  Sons - one  of  Washington  City’s 

leading  department  stores - use  a  G  &  G 

Hoist  for  the  quick  and  quiet  removal  of 
ashes  and  rubbish  and  raising  and  lowering 
light  loads. 

Scores  of  railroads - including  the  Chicago, 

Milwaukee  &  St.  Paul;  Pennsylvania  L'nes 
(East  and  West);  Canadian  Pacific;  Union 
Pacific;  Rock  Island  Lines;  Southern  Railway; 

New  York  Central  Lines;  Central  R.R.  of 
New  Jersey;  Chicago  &  Northwestern;  Chi¬ 
cago,  Burlington  &  Quincy;  Alabama  Great 
Southern;  Canadian  Northern;  Illinois  Central 

and  many  others - are  saving  money  and  time 

in  their  lowering  and  lifting  jobs  at  many 
types  of  buildings  through  the  use  of  G  &  G 
Hoists.

IN  ADDITION  to  the  Model  E,  electri- 
*  cally  operated,  G  &  G  Hoist  described 
on  page  2  (also  illustrated  on  this  page) 
there  are  four  other  standard  models. 

The  Model  D,  Telescopic  Hoist,  with 
Overhead  Crane  (illustrated  on  this  page) 
operates  electrically.  Upper  part  of  Hoist 
telescopes  below  grade  when  not  in  use.

The  Model  D  Hoist  raises  a  load  of  300 
lbs.  at  a  speed  of  60  ft.  per  minute  and 
is  designed  for  use  where  it  is  desired  to 
raise  loads  6  or  7  ft.  above  grade  and 
as  much,  as  3  ft.  away  from  hoistway. 


The  Model  B,  Telescopic  Hoist,  with 
Overhead  Crane  (illustrated  on  page  7) 
operates  manually.  The  upper  part  of 
Hoist  telescopes  below  grade  when  not 
in  use.  Built  to  raise  loads  of  300  lbs. 
at  a  speed  of  30  ft.  per  minute  but  its 
capacity  can  be  increased — by  guy  rods 
running  from  top  of  Hoist  to  building 
wall — to  500  lbs.  Both  the  telescoping 
and  the  hoisting  handle  act  upon  com¬ 
pound  gears  and  the  pressure  exerted 
upon  the  hoisting  handle  in  raising  the 
load  is  only  7  lbs.  for  each  1 00  lbs.  of 
weight.  Hoisting  handle  does  not  re¬ 


volve  when  brake  is  used  to  lower  load. 
This  not  only  makes  it  possible  to  lowe~ 
rapidly  but  protects  operator  from  pos¬ 
sible  injury.

Other  Models  Too  ( Cont .) 


The  steel  cable  used  on  G  &  G  Hoists  is  non- 
rotating”  which  eliminates  the  twisting  and  addi¬ 
tional  stress  common  to  the  ordinary  type  of 
cable.  Cable  drum  is  grooved  and  gears  are 
machine  cut  throughout. 


All  manually  operated  Hoists  are  equipped  with 
a  patented  "silencer"  which  makes  them  practi¬ 
cally  noiseless  in  operation  Lubrication  is  ef¬ 
fected  by  a  simple  but  efficient  method. 


The  Model  C,  Telescopic  Hoist  (illustrated  on 
this  page)  operates  electrically.  This  model  is 

identical  with  Model  D - except  that  it  raises  loads 

to  grade  level  onI\). 


The  Model  A  Telescopic  Hoist  (illustrated  on 
page  3  )  operates  manually.  This  model  is  so 
designed  that  it  is  practical  for  one  man  to  per¬ 
form  the  entire  operation  of  raising  and  lower¬ 
ing  loads  when  a  G  &  G  Swing  Bail  Can  is  used. 
The  Model  A  Hoist  will  raise  a  load  of  500  lbs. 
at  a  speed  of  30  ft.  per  minute,  requiring  a 
pressure  of 
only  7  lbs.  for 
each  I  00  lbs. 
of  weight.
